BBC Breakfast <\/a>presenter Naga Munchetty<\/a> has reportedly ‘renewed talks’ with a radio station away from the corporation amid a bullying row that has plagued the morning programme. Last month, it was revealed show boss Richard Frediani was on extended leave<\/a> on the flagship show after complaints about his behaviour.<\/p>\n

Host Munchetty was also said to not get on with him. However, many staff members came out<\/a> in defence of the editor. One even told the Mirror that some staff were disappointed with Munchetty who it’s claimed raised concerns about Frediani\u2019s management style with BBC managers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And now, a source has claimed that the presenter ‘loves the BBC’ but is looking for a new job.<\/p>\n

Speaking to The Sun<\/a>, they said: “Her team last week renewed talks with LBC. The Global Radio station would suit her as there\u2019s far less of the fluffy nonsense that\u2019s involved in working at the BBC.\u201d The Mirror have reached out to Munchetty’s reps for comment.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the BBC’s annual salary <\/a>was recently published and Munchetty was revealed to be earning almost double her co-host Charlie Stayt’s pay.<\/p>\n

Stayt and Munchetty present BBC Breakfast from Thursday to Saturday morning, while Jon Kay<\/a> and Sally Nugent<\/a> take the helm from Monday to Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Stayt, aged 63, has stayed within the \u00a3190,000 salary band, whereas Munchetty, aged 50, has enjoyed a \u00a310,000 increase to her earnings, moving from \u00a3345,000 to \u00a3355,000.<\/p>\n

Munchetty, who has presented on the flagship news programme since 2014, has always been paid more than Stayt. Her pay packet accounts for 180 days of presenting on BBC<\/a> Breakfast, as well as her Radio 5 Live programme and election coverage.<\/p>\n

The BBC pay comes amid a bullying row concerning the BBC Breakfast editor. Some current and former staff of the programme jumped to his defence.<\/p>\n

One source told the Mirror<\/a>: \u201cHe is not a bully at all and the truth will come out. He\u2019s a great boss and was – and is still – overwhelmingly loved by the team, who respect his drive, expertise, and journalistic ambition. He has delivered great audiences and the first ever Bafta for breakfast TV<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe can be brash and opinionated but works so hard for his team and allows people to flourish.\u201d<\/p>\n

A second source said: \u201cYes, he is old-school and can rub people up the wrong way but it\u2019s always in the pursuit of great television. It\u2019s the best-rating breakfast show in the country – it\u2019s not supposed to be a walk in the park. Some – Naga included – need to understand this. It feels like it\u2019s a case of presenter power turfing out a brilliant journalist.\u201d<\/p>\n

Co-host Stayt<\/a> is also said to have a strained relationship with Frediani.<\/p>\n
